He has recorded one assist, 14 tackles, 15 interceptions and 17 clearances in 11 matches (eight starts).

Impact Silva soldiered through a knock, but the Sampdoria midfield was overrun by Napoli in this one. The substitution was tactical, and he usually splits time with Albin Ekdal anyway.

Picks up knock in Empoli game Silva won one of two tackles, drew one foul and had three interceptions and three clearances before subbing off after a blow to the knee in Sunday's 3-0 win over Empoli.

Likely to return versus Parma Silva (knee) has re-joined his teammates in practice Friday, Sampdoria announced.

Impact Silva has completed his recovery from a knee contusion and should at least be a bench option for Saturday's game versus Parma. Sampdoria will be without regular starter Morten Thorsby in the midfield. Valerio Verre and Kristoffer Askildsen would be the alternative options if Silva could not start. He has posted one goal, one assist, ten created chances and 47 tackles in 23 games thus far.

Stays out for Udinese game Silva (knee) has resumed practicing, but he has not been called up for Sunday's match against Udinese, Sampdoria informed.

Questionable for Spezia match Silva did not practice fully early in the week due to a knock in the past game, Sampdoria informed.

Impact Silva is highly at risk of being ruled out for the game considering the short turnaround. If that was the case, Albin Ekdal would return to the XI after a pair of appearances off the bench following a thigh injury.
